Darlington could name> an unchanged side for tomorrow's trip to Stockport.

Central defender Shelton Martis has shaken off an ankle injury, and will keep his place, even though skipper Matt Clarke is now fully fit.

Clarke may have to again settle for a place on the bench, unless Quakers switch to a formation which accommodates three central defenders.

Full back Ryan Valentine, who missed training yesterday because of a sickness bug, is available tomorrow if well enough, but serves a one match ban the following week.

Phil Stamp will retain his place after impressing at Shrewsbury on Tuesday, while Anthony Peacock may again be rested.

Stockport, who lost at Darlington in the second game of the season, have a strange home record having won and lost only once, with the other seven home games ending in draws. They are without top scorer Jermaine Easter through suspension and Michael Wolski through injury.

Darlington assistant manager Mark Proctor said: "Both teams need a win, and we have to go there and make it a disadvantage for them to be at home. We have to start brightly and pile the pressure on them. We also know we need to be more ruthless in front of goal."

Following showdown talks with manager David Hodgson, striker Tresor Kandol has been given a second chance to establish himself at Darlington, but will be fined for missing training last week. He is not available tomorrow because of a shoulder injury.
